Lu You brought a dagger with trembling hands.
Ye Qichi made a cut on her finger.
Lu You was startled.
Just as she was about to scream out loud.
She saw Ye Qichi applying ointment on her wound.
Ye Qichi frowned.
It was obviously painful.
"Princess..." Lu You couldn't help calling out to her.
Ye Qichi endured the pain and said, "Do you remember how long it took for the cut on my finger to heal the last time I showed it to you?"
Lu You thought for a moment, "It seemed like just a little while."
"Then watch closely now." Ye Qichi placed her finger in front of Lu You.
Lu You stared intently at the Princess's finger.
For a long time.
There was no sign of the finger healing; instead, the wound seemed to have festered even more.
Lu You exclaimed, "It's really poisoned!"
Ye Qichi nodded.
"How did you know, Princess?!" Lu You looked at the Princess with utter admiration.
To say she was born with it would be too much of a boast.
In any case.
